    Aux Fuel - Scepter Cans - Goodness!

    Sounds like the internal threads of your fuel can are worn out. I see alot of them like that.

    Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS

    10w30 might be the wrong oil. Idk the mil spec or equivalent but i always run 15w40 in diesels. 25psi when hot is just fine. 0.4hr isnt really much of a run time. These arnt gas engines. They like to be loaded and dont benefit much from a 30min run every month. Break in time is 100hrs.

    A not-so-funny story (hz)

    I almost always have things for sale on craigslist and other online formats. I do a few things to weed out the time wasters. 1)Dont take offers not in person. 2)Dont give full adress until they are on the way. 3)If they ask for a spec not in the listing send them a link that shows everything...

    MEP803A Sound Levels

    Has anyone put something line dynamat or some other sound absorption product inside the covers on one of these? Mine specificly could benefit from a rattling junk look over. Bseams like everything thats not bolted down is rattling and clanking.

    Question about wet stacking

    I wouldnt worry about wet stacking when your power is out. You wont wet stack enough to lower the units performance. Load test it clean when the power comes back on or you notice some signs of wet stacking. But its not something i would worry about durring a power outage. Mabe a smaller...

    brought home a new to me MEP-803a and trailer

    You cant really judge much by useing a large electric motor for a load. Some times its just to much all at once. Dryer elements and a fan.

    Mep002 proper grounding

    To hook it properly into your house you need to hook up 4 wires. Two 120v, neutral to your pannel and ground to your pannel. You use the ground your pannel alreaty has due to you looking the gen ground to the pannel ground.

    Parts 803a a (making it a runner)

    That dosnt sounds good. Water sitting on the valves is prety bad. Much less on the piston. I would start by pulling the injectors like Guy said. Turn it by hand, if its free you might want to put about a cup of marvel mistery oil in each cylinder to hopefully free any stuck rings. Leave it...

    Question about the HZ on a MEP-803a

    You prob wouldnt even need the pallet jack until you got it down. Two men can slide a 802 on a wood deck trailer. The aluminum skid on the 802/3 and aluminum ramp..might just self unload. If not roll it down on a floor jack only on one end.

    Generator AUX fuel Tank

    Hi lift jacks are almost always a danger. I hate useing mine for anything. How much tongue weight do you have with out the aux tank full?

    Jump Starting MEP803A

    Since the golf cart is 6v batterys wired in series you could run a disconnect to isolate 4 of them and attch jumper cabes there. A Frankenstein style disconnect dosnt break the bank.

    Time To Add More Load

    With all that running i doubt your gauge is accurate. Do you have a amp gauge? There a few bucks at harbor freight. There a good tool to have.

    Bad Oil Pressure Gauge

    Its not a mechanical gauge so make sure you get a sender with it if you go aftermarket. Or at least know the Ohm readings are compatible. I have an aftermarket fuel gauge and used the original sender.

    Aux Fuel - Scepter Cans - Goodness!

    Those LCI water jugs can be had directly from the company for $25 shipped. I use them for water and i can say they are wonderfull. For fuel i cant see spending upwards of $50 for a gas can. If you hate the CARB compliant ones like me just buy the VP racing fuel cans. They sell them in OD...
